1. Taking the NCLEX in January? Stop in here...

   Aedana replied to allthingsbright's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I'm taking my NCLEX January 30th (less than 1 week from now)! I'm feeling both so ready to get 'er done and also kind of worried because I started my internship and they have been making me work full...

2. Associates or Bachelors?

   Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I just hung 3 bags of LR and Ancef today alone and I graduated from an ADN RN program, so I would say no. :) I believe that depending on the state's practice act, LVN/LPNs may have restrictions on...

3. Associates or Bachelors?

   Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I didn't really feel ripped off when I took the ADN program. The reason why is that 1 semester of nursing school in my ADN program was 250 dollars (including fees) per semester for full time study...

4. Hairstles for nurses???

   Aedana replied to lovetoday's topic in First Year After Licensure

   My hair is shoulder length and I always put it in a ponytail or put it back up whenever I'm working in the hospital. The reason why is that you may have to bend over a patient to do a procedure such...

   Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Wow, they don't let you work as GNs in IL??? What was their rationale for making that sort of change? I would personally go to my state rep and :trout: And your testing place would get a double...

8. Attn Tarrant County College Dec grads...

   Aedana replied to zamboni's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Yeah, that was what I heard when I spoke with the nursing secretary early yesterday morning (1/2). I've been pretty lucky because the hospital I am interning at is letting me attend orientation since...

9. Did anyone hate nursing school?

   Aedana replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Don't get too discouraged! :) NS is stressful and I haven't met anyone who has gone through it themselves and said otherwise. Like boot camp, it's kind of one of those experiences that makes it so...

10. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    Aedana replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I personally did not "like" nursing school while I was in it. Now, I found it interesting learning about pathophysiology and interventions and I enjoyed the time I spent working with my patients, but...

14. Associates or Bachelors?

    Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my state (Texas), the big difference between BSN and ADN programs is 3 courses in nursing school. BSNs take Management, Research, and Community Health courses, other than that, the curriculum is...

15. Looking for history behind how RN's and LPNs developed

    Aedana replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think it's funny how even as some things change, others stay the same. Even back then, nursing shortages and man/woman power issues were a problem.
